Table of Contents (Show / Hide)
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has sparked controversy by claiming that the European Commission offered his social media platform X an "illegal secret deal" to "quietly censor speech" in exchange for avoiding fines.
Musk made the allegations on X, stating that the commission had offered the deal after accusing X of breaching EU digital laws. He claimed that other platforms accepted the deal, but X refused.
However, the European Commission has denied Musk's claims, saying that there was no such deal and that X's allegations are "not based on facts".
Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton responded to Musk on X, stating that the commission followed established regulatory procedures and that X's team asked for clarification on the process for settlement.
Breton emphasized that there was no secret deal and that any decisions were made publicly and transparently. He also hinted that X could face legal action if it does not comply with EU regulations.
Musk's claims have sparked concerns about the potential for censorship and government interference in online speech. The situation remains unclear, with both sides preparing for a potential court battle.
